After returning in July, Ye Hao's life became regular again, getting up at six in the morning, resting at ten o'clock in the evening after a long day of training. He's like a timed alarm clock, day in and day out, with the right thing.

At the end of August, the China Table Tennis Open was once again ignited. Ye Hao's results in participating in this event are not good, and even if he is considered at his usual level, it can be said that he is not qualified.

Lost to Marin in his first competition in 03 and stopped in the second round; After his comeback, he participated again, but also lost to Marin and stopped in the semifinals; It can be said that although Ye Hao has not participated in the China Table Tennis Open many times, he has experienced a tragic experience, which can be called a history of blood and tears.

This time, Ye Hao participated in the China Table Tennis Open for the third time, hoping to change the dilemma and make up for his regrets. In fact, speaking of which, the possibility of Ye Hao fulfilling this wish should be very large. After all, since his comeback for more than a year, his state has been adjusted to the best, and with the momentum of the men's singles championship of the World Table Tennis Championships, Ye Hao can be said to be the biggest favorite for the men's singles championship in this competition.

On August 30, in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, China, the China Table Tennis Open began. Ye Hao, as the No. 1 seed, will directly enter the main stage, and in addition to him, the Chinese team also has Wang Liqin, Ma Lin, Wang Hao, Ma Long, Chen Qi and Hao Shuai, all of whom are also listed as seeded players.

This year marks the 17th year of the Panasonic China Open Table Tennis Championships, which has become one of the highest professional tournaments in the ITTF due to the fact that the tournament has brought together the best athletes in the international table tennis world at the time. A total of 190 athletes from all over the world participated in this year's Panasonic China Table Tennis Open, setting a record for the scale of participation since the opening of the China Open.

In this competition, in addition to the main force of the Chinese table tennis team, masters from all over the world also enthusiastically signed up, and eight of the top ten athletes in the men's world rankings participated. It can be said that in terms of gold content, the quality of this competition can even be compared with the World Table Tennis Championships.

This year is a crucial year for athletes from all over the world to prepare for the Olympic Games in their capitals, so the mid-year tournaments are also the main competitions to determine qualification for next year's Olympic Games, and the ranking in these competitions has a significant impact on the athletes' points. This makes the competition in this China Table Tennis Open even more intense.

Ye Hao's first opponent was Fejekones from the German men's table tennis, the opponent's strength was not strong, so he won relatively easily, winning 11:6, 11:5, 11:5 and 11:4 respectively, winning four games in a row.

In the second round, Ye Hao will play against Kenta Matsudaira from Japan, which is the second time the two have met, the previous one was at this year's World Table Tennis Championships. At that time, Ye Hao beat Kenta Matsudaira into a eunuch Matsudaira, but the opponent turned out to have a super "self-healing" ability, and as soon as the game ended, he quickly recovered from defeat into a confident appearance, vowing to defeat himself in the next game.

Now, Kenta Matsudaira's opportunity has come, and he once again came with full confidence to defeat Ye Hao as his ultimate goal, and coincidentally, he really came across this opportunity.

The game was about to start, Ye Hao looked at Kenta Matsudaira who was standing opposite, with a high-spirited and arrogant appearance, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly. Speaking of which, he has a lot of fate with Japanese athletes, first Mizutani Hayabusa tried the knife and was beaten into a sieve by him, and now Kenta Matsudaira took the initiative to send it to the door at the expense of his face. So Ye Hao has made up his mind to give Qi a big gift, so that the other party did not come to China in vain.

At the beginning of the first game, Kenta Matsudaira served first, and his squat serve was of good quality, especially when the paddle touched the ball, which made it difficult to judge the spin of the ball.

Therefore, Ye Hao did not attack in a hurry, but rubbed it short. However, perhaps because at the beginning of the game, Ye Hao's hand feeling was not adjusted to the best state, so his rubbing ball was slightly behind, but it did not reach the point of being introduced.

But even so, Kenta Matsudaira attacked frantically as if he had discovered a new world, and he tried to serve and attack directly with a forehand. However, I have to say that Kenta Matsudaira's character is really too arrogant, and he underestimated Ye Hao's ability.

In the face of the strong attack of the Japanese players, Ye Hao did not rush or despise relaxation, he calmly pulled a board back and sent the ball back to the opposite table. Subsequently, the game entered Ye Hao's rhythm, and after four consecutive rounds of pulling, he saw the opportunity and hit the opponent's defensive corner with a backhand and successfully scored.

1:0, Ye Hao broke the opponent's first serve. Kenta Matsudaira continued to serve, but he still tried to take the initiative of the match with a high-quality serve, and wanted to serve and attack again. However, the facts tell Kenta Matsudaira that all schemes must be built on great strength, otherwise it will be a mirror of the moon. In the end, Ye Hao broke the opponent's serve again, scored another point, and led the opponent 2:0.

With the rapid progress of the game, Ye Hao turned this contest into an exhibition match, and all kinds of beautiful offensive and defensive counterattacks emerged one after another, making the audience cheering continuously.

The final score in the first game was 11:4, and Ye Hao won without suspense.

In the second game, Kenta Matsudaira's self-confidence was not reduced in any way by the loss in the first game, and he still looked like he was bound to win, but the final result was that he was slapped in the face. Ye Hao won another game with 11:5, leading the total score 2:0.

In the third game, Ye Hao maintained a strong performance, although the opponent was still fighting to the death, but the effect was not good. In fact, Ye Hao expressed his appreciation for this indomitable and never-admitting defeat, but if Kenta Matsudaira could not always show that arrogant posture with his nostrils facing the sky, then maybe he would save some face for the other party.

However, Ye Hao is destined to have no chance to leave a step for Kenta Matsudaira, because after being devastated, the opponent's game state and feel have also become sluggish and cold. Even if Ye Hao has the intention to release the water, the opponent is powerless to cooperate.

With a score of 11:3 in the third game and 11:2 in the fourth game, Ye Hao won two games in a row within ten minutes, swept the opponent with a total score of 4:0, and successfully advanced to the third round of men's singles. Kenta Matsudaira and the Japanese men's table tennis have once again become the stepping stones and background boards on Ye Hao's way forward.

At the end of the two rounds of the competition, in addition to Ye Hao's easy pass, several other members of the Chinese men's table tennis team also successfully advanced. So in the next game, they will inevitably encounter a civil war, for example, Ye Hao's opponent is his teammate, he is ......
